Swiss soccer player Michel Morganella has been expelled by the Swiss Olympic Team for tweeting a potentially racist comment.

After Morganella and Switzerland lost 2-1 to South Korea, he tweeted "I want to beat up all South Koreans! Bunch of mentally handicapped retards! (“Je les tous Defonce Coréens, allez vous tous Bruler, bande de trisos”).

The tweet has since been deleted and the player apologised for his tweet. His account has been suspended.
